The Difference with This Study

While most studies have strict criteria to ensure only a certain group of people are monitored; this study did not.

It focused on much larger numbers to get an overview of the male population as it stands today.

The data for this study has come from the National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey. There were 2,399 men; all of which were over 20.

The majority of these men also had a complete file regarding their location, income and age. Information regarding chronic disease, T levels, grip strength and even cardio risk factors was collated for 2,161 of these men.

The study focused on the following diseases and how often they appeared in this group:

Type 2 diabetes

Arthritis

Cardiovascular disease

Stroke

Pulmonary disease

High Triglycerides

Hypercholesterolemia

Hypertension

Clinical depression

The Findings

The most obvious fact that emerged from this study was that low testosterone levels are associated with multimorbidity; regardless of your age.

Taking this one stage further it was also discovered that the prevalence of disease was actually greater in both younger and older men.

There is a direct link between low testosterone and even moderate T levels to your risk of contracting a chronic disease.
